Toad of Toad
Hall is the first of several dramatisations
of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the
Willows. It was written by A. A. Milne, with
incidental music by Harold Fraser-Simson.
Milne extracted the adventures of Mr. Toad
(which form only about half of the original
book) because they lent themselves most
easily to being staged. Milne loved
Grahame's book, which is one of the reasons
he decided to adapt it. The play has four
main characters: Rat, Badger, Mole, and
Toad. Toad's caravan and car adventures are
included, as well as his imprisonment,
escape, and subsequent fight with the
weasels and stoats to regain his home with
the help of his friends. Although not a
musical, the play contains six songs.
Its first production was at the Lyric
Theatre in London on 17 December 1929.

From the
start it has been the theatre's business
to entertain people ... it needs no
other passport than fun.
